Hey,

If it was only Friday when you got him, then I wouldn't sweat it yet. It's normal for baby or new leopard geckos to stop eating for the first week or so when you get them. They tend to stress easily, so the whole ordeal probably has your baby worried.. As far as eating a cricket and then spitting it up, he probably acted on impulses because he was hungry, but felt too stressed to digest it. Also, he may be drinking at night or any other time you're not around. I rarely see my geckos drink and I have seven of them, lol. Like, I said, I'd give it at least a week from the time you got him and see how it goes from there. Just offer him food every day and if he puts his nose up to it, try again the next day. Let us know what happens within a weeks time. Good luck and don't be shy to ask any questions if something comes up, there's almost always someone here who can and is willing to answer.

-Brittany
